BOMBSHELL: Sunderland aiming for a BIG transfer catch after submitting an Official BID to SIGN 20yr Old Premier League rising striker.
Exclusive: Sunderland Eyeing Tottenham’s Dane Scarlett
Sunderland are showing strong interest in acquiring Tottenham striker Dane Scarlett on loan this summer. The 20-year-old, despite being highly regarded at Spurs, has had mixed success during his previous loan spells.
Scarlett’s time at Portsmouth in League One (2022/23) was promising, though his goal tally fell short of expectations. A brief stint at Ipswich in the Championship last season saw limited playing time before he returned to Tottenham, making a few Premier League appearances.
While Sunderland initially considered Scarlett’s teammate Will Lankshear, they now prefer Scarlett due to his senior football experience. The potential loan move would complement rather than replace plans to sign a more experienced striker.
Former Spurs manager Jose Mourinho previously praised Scarlett’s potential, calling him a “phenomenal” talent for the future. Sunderland have a track record of success with ex-Tottenham youth players, including Jack Clarke, Dennis Cirkin, and Romaine Mundle.
Sunderland’s head coach, Regis Le Bris, has hinted at potential transfer surprises before the window closes. So far, the club has made four free signings, including midfielders Alan Browne and Ian Poveda, plus two reserve goalkeepers. However, they’re still seeking a crucial centre-forward.
Le Bris acknowledges the challenges of the current transfer window but remains optimistic about attracting players to the “big club” with its passionate fanbase. He urges supporters to remain patient and focused on the team’s progress.
Sunderland’s primary target appears to be Cannes striker Alexandre Mendy. The 30-year-old has publicly expressed his desire to join Sunderland, claiming his current club promised him the move. However, negotiations remain ongoing, and Sunderland may need to consider alternative options as time runs short.
